According to the Mercury News http://www.mercurynews.com/mld/mercurynews/ Barry Bonds, along with 26 other athletes did recieve Steroids. ESPNEWS is now reporting the story as well.
Barry Bonds however, may really be a victim in this case because he may not have known he was given the steroids.

Well Bonds obviously IS (gains 100 pounds out of nowhere)
Jason isnt, he's been power hitter his whole career-Same with Sheffield
if Jeremy is taking them, they aren't working

We all know 40%+ of the MLB is "juiced". They can reduce/hide the numbers all the want. Anyone who thinks otherwise is naive.

I definately think Giambi isnt, but I do think he was. He looks so much smaller this year than he did before.
I also think Gabe Kapler might have taken them because this year he doesn't seem as ripped as he did in the past

well you can't prove that he took it until you test him for it

I think the MLB is letting this stuff go aslong as possible so when they do get around to testing people they wont find hardly anyone useing. I mean the players that were taking steroids have surely stopped since this thing came about. So when the MLB starts to test the steroids will probably already be out of the players system. Thats to bad to... You can look at certain players and tell that they used/using ( *cough*Bonds*cough* ). You cant just gain 100 lbs in 1 offseason. Not to mention the only way your skull can enlarge is by using steroids.
I was watching ESPN Classic couple weeks ago and the game I was watching was between the Giants and Padres in 96. They showed a shot of Bonds in the dug-out and I was suprised how small he was. He looked like a normal MLB player. He was 2x smaller then than he is now and his head was slinder compared to a pumpkin now.

Unlike hockey where players are encouraged to fight unless you hurt the guy too much and then it's criminal.

It puts people in the seats, the owners don't care.
